Abstract

Abstract : The United States Army Transformation Campaign Plan describes a process through which part of The Army Vision can be implemented. Three essential elements of this Vision are people, readiness and transformation. The Army Dental Corps plays a vital role in caring for people and maintaining soldier readiness. It must have trained, competent dentists if it is to carry out its mission. Today, the Army Dental Corps faces a shortage of dental officers, especially junior officers and that shortage is likely to significantly increase within the next three years. If the Army Dental Corps is to continue to be an integral part of providing patient care, it must also undergo a transformation process. This paper will discuss current Army Dental Corps issues and propose changes to assist with maintaining a healthy Corps. Specific areas of transformation to be addressed include readiness, recruiting, retention, and graduate education.
